Well, we all know raising children is hard work. Even in the most ideal circumstances – happy family, supportive community, peace and prosperity, etc. – it is still hard work. We can’t really complain about that because the idea is that we should not have kids until we really know what we’re getting into. But there are parts about being a mother that are not just hard work but unnecessary hardship. Those, I absolutely hate and cannot get used to.

I hated it when "Because I said so" quit working. Be glad your kids asks why though. Once you have said no, don't give in!! And, once in awhile, cake for breakfast IS ok. The ingredients aren't any worse than pan cakes

But Jeanne dear, they don't ask why in good faith! They already know the answers. They just can't resist it when they see how much it annoys me! It's a power thing.

Ha ha ha... this is so funny! I know exactly what you mean about all these stupid battles we have to fight against advertising. I'm really sick of it too.

Yes! Great description! Sometimes my husband just gives up explaining and yells at the kids so they'll shut up. Then he tells me later that yelling makes him feel bad. Advertising is insidious, never-ending, and damned hard to combat.
